Default Tranny is acting weird

I was driving around today and noticed on the 2-3 shift at half-throttle only the rpms jump up before it shifts. At low throttle and full throttle it doesnt do this, only at half-throttle. Has anyone had this problem before?
BTW, this only started after the trans-go was installed, could it be some tuning issue interfering with the trans-go? All my other shifts are very crisp and clean at full/part throttle.

I doubled checked the fluid and it was a little low from when I did my trans-go install, so I topped it off and hopefully it will help. However, I was talking to my friend with a Lightning and he said ever since he got his tune his will do the same thing on the 2-3 upshift. I will call Allen and see what he thinks about how the tranny is acting and if the tune needs to be tweeked.

A flair at the 2-3 shift is usually caused by the 2-3 feed hole in the separator plate being drilled bigger than .093 I bet you went .110 or whatever the bigger step is. Some trannies can take the big hole, some cant, but it is best to just go .093 on it. Ask me how I know.....

If thats the point, I dont see how I did that because I made sure not to go above .093 on any hole and on one I only went .082. Did you do the same thing? And if that is the case, what will it do to the tranny in the long run, and can any tuning help correct the problem? Thanks
